Lu Mingfei: Hogwarts repeater

Chapter 133 The Twenty Million Dollar Mission
The bounty hunter that Old Tang belonged to was not the legendary mercenary organization, but it was almost the same.

Compared with the mercenaries who participate in wars around the world for money, their organization, the "Hunter Market", is more diversified and relatively loose, and is hired to help people solve various problems.

The organization brings together artists, desperadoes, literary youths or computer masters from all over the world, and even gang members or undercover FBI... It is extremely complex.

When in the hunter market, they are collectively called hunters.

The employment that hunters accept is also extremely complex - ranging from murder, arson and robbery, to sending a neighbor's grandmother across the road or retrieving a rich woman's lost frightened cat, all kinds of legal or illegal jobs.

Old Tang is the one who is more cautious in accepting employment. Generally speaking, he mostly helps people dig graves...

Oh, according to the unanimous statement of the employers, it is the work of "conservative private excavation of cultural relics".

In fact, Old Tang is a very timid person.

He was so timid that he did not dare to do things like murder and arson, for fear that he would be killed by a bullet that came from nowhere at some point.

However, at the same time, he is still a firm believer in materialism, and he doesn't care at all about those gods and ghosts.

And now, Old Tang still has a lot of money in his hands.

This money can even be found to have been taxed using a perfect tax avoidance method. Therefore, hunters do not have to worry about being targeted by the IRS and can maximize their profits.

You have to do your best to be a landlord. Being poor is a point of poverty, so you can’t lose face!

But Old Tang just couldn't be bothered to do it.

Sometimes, he could also see various supernatural events posted by colleagues from all over the world on the hunter market forum.

The commissioning process of the Hunter Market is——

What you haven’t seen with your own eyes can’t be considered true after all. Just like most people, no matter how many great principles they hear, they will never understand or remember them until they have stepped into the trap themselves.

But that situation is about as rare as using a needle to pinpoint a spot on a palm-sized globe to within a centimeter.

Therefore, Old Tang knew clearly that he did not "post" on the [Hunter Market].

If you do not post, you may receive a task in rare circumstances.

The money was enough to support him for more than half a year, and if he tightened his belt, it would not be impossible for him for more than a year. Old Tang even included the travel budget for the top student from China when he came to the United States.

In short, Old Tang is not a very dreamy person. Otherwise, if he was willing to work hard for "private archeology", he would have left the slums of Brooklyn and moved to the rich area of ​​Manhattan Island long ago.

So much so that there were several times when Old Tang dreamed of similar monsters, and he even hesitated to go to the forum to buy some "magic weapons" such as the black donkey's hoof and the golden school captain's seal.

There are always a lot of "archaeological" commissions in the hunter market, and every time the pay is given to the hunter in a completely legal way.

But every time he had this thought, a fact would inevitably appear before his eyes - when he went to the tomb himself, he didn't see anything mysterious or ghostly.

For him, it doesn't matter whether he eats a thousand-dollar steak or a double cheeseburger from a roadside stand, or lives in a villa in a wealthy area of ​​Manhattan or a shabby house in a poor area of ​​Brooklyn.

Anyway, it's the same life - eating, sleeping, playing StarCraft, and the cycle continues. When you have no money, pick up a task and go out, then come back and continue.

3. The client selects the hunter to perform the task and finalizes it (fixes the post).

Some of them are fake at a glance, while others are almost indistinguishable. The descriptions between the lines seem to be true. The writing style is much better than those supernatural novels on the market.

That is to entrust the person to designate the person for the task - this kind of task mode will definitely cost a lot of money.

1. The client uploads the task, which is reviewed and approved by the website, and hunters who meet the corresponding ability requirements are recruited, including the task content and reward (posting);
2. Hunters screen tasks. If you think you are capable, you can choose to accept it, and then send your resume to the site (post);

Because the hunter market provides absolute protection for hunters’ information, but at the same time it also gives hunters the power to “sell” of their own choice.

After the client reaches the price set by the hunter, he will hand over the corresponding information to the other party. If the other party confirms his choice, the money will be transferred to the hunter, and the hunter must accept the task.

Remuneration is calculated separately and is not included in this price.

Therefore, there is also a cool name for this price, which is [Life Fund]. Once you get this money, you are basically close to death.

If you don't accept the money... probably no one will be stupid enough to try to verify the value of an illegal organization that has its name in countries around the world but has never been dismantled.

[Everyone will have a price at which they sell themselves] - This is the explanation of this setting by the only administrator of the Hunter Market, [Nido].

He was right, at least Old Tang himself had filled in a price on a whim, and that price was ten million US dollars.

For Old Tang, who has no father, no mother, and no goals in life, this price is enough to make him work hard.

Having said that, who would pay so much money to let him, a low-level hunter with nothing but a relatively high success rate in tomb robbing, work for him?
It sounds like a setting where rare materials from all over the world were gathered to summon an invincible warrior from another world, but in the end, a useless and dead house was summoned!

Then, the man who paid an exorbitant price to summon a good-for-nothing dead man showed up.

Old Tang looked silently at the phone with the note [Nido] and a special ringtone on his phone, and pressed the connect button.

A completely mechanical voice came from the mobile phone and echoed in the quiet room. For a moment, Old Tang felt a bit like the many dark tombs that had been dug, and now the ghosts inside were talking to him.

Well, it’s still a cybernetic ghost.

"Mr. Ronald Tang, you have received a designated task. Please log on to the Hunter Market website to view the task details.

We would like to remind you in a serious and friendly manner that this task is a designated task and your 'Life Fund' has been credited to your account. Please follow the task requirements and complete it.

After completing this task, you can reset the 'Life Fund' amount.

Hope to see you back again. "

"Damn it, what kind of mental illness is causing trouble!"

Old Tang cursed and typed "gg" and chose to surrender. He chose to click on the browser and enter the URL to enter the [Hunter Market].

The cursing behavior failed to cover up the anxiety in Old Tang's heart. This is money to buy your life! Although I don’t know why the other party spent a full 10 million US dollars to find a low-level hunter like me to work for him, what is certain is that the task will never be simple!
Login to the Hunter Market website does not require any complicated operations. It is just a simple website address. You can log in after entering your account and password for verification.

If you don't plan to log in to your account, you can also choose guest access, but you won't be able to browse most tasks, let alone access them.

The website page of the Hunter Market always has a dark background, as if to bring a sense of security to the hunters and employers who conduct illegal transactions here.

But for the current Old Tang, this background is more like a deep tomb. It has been dug at this time, waiting for him to jump in, and then cover the coffin and fill it with earth.

However, he still couldn't stop jumping.

"If I had known, I should have set up 100 million... I have to work hard anyway, what's the difference if I make more or less?" Old Tang muttered, found the email on the site, took a deep breath, and clicked to check it.

"New York, Brooklyn Hospital, theft mission..." Old Tang looked at the details of the mission, and his slightly drooped eyebrows were raised because of a frown.

"Just to steal something? What's worth ten million dollars, or a hospital?"

Old Tang knew where this hospital was, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of anything in that hospital worth ten million.

It's just a general hospital. It's okay in Brooklyn, but it's not ranked at all in New York.

"'During the mission, it is very likely that other forces will rob it. Please make your own judgment based on the situation. If you cannot completely rob it, you can destroy it'..."

Not even required to get it to ensure completeness?
Old Tang's eyes widened in shock. Doesn't that mean that as long as he gets a bomb, the mission is basically completed?
Of course, after the bomb attack, the 10 million yuan and the remaining mission rewards were basically unavailable. The New York police probably would not tolerate such a slap in the face.

This thing is different from ordinary street gunfights, and can be regarded as a terrorist attack.

The means of completing the task can be reconsidered, because after reading the email, Old Tang realized that this was not the most serious problem.

"The mission objective...why is it just a picture of a row of red liquid! Where is the detailed description and explanation? Why is there no such thing at all? Where can I find it?"

Old Tang stared at the photo displayed on the screen with wide eyes——

On a dim background with no trace at all, a row of syringes fixed on a test tube rack are filled with red liquid, glowing like blood under the light source outside the screen. There are ten syringes in total.

But what exactly is this thing?
There are not even 10,000 but also thousands of syringes in the hospital, and they are distributed over an unknown area. And this thing can be blood, some kind of medicine, a virus, or it can be red ink that was created casually!

But this thing is worth 10 million US dollars, no, if you add the mission salary... Old Tang glanced at the content behind it, and the familiar number was exactly the same as the amount of his life fund.

A total of 20 million!

For 20 million things, the information is just one picture.

If he hadn't known that this thing would never be simple, Old Tang would have even thought of going to that hospital, picking up a few syringes, and filling them with some red ink for communication.

As a hunter, Old Tang cannot have one-way contact with the client. He can only write an email to ask the administrator [Nido], questioning whether the task client may have mistaken the content of the email.

Perhaps because missions with an amount of 20 million US dollars are rare on hunter websites, even the administrators are paying attention, [Nido] quickly replied——

[I have already asked the client, and the other party informed me that this is all the mission information, and you will naturally know it by then]

"Who does he think he is, the Riddler from Gotham? Who can he show to someone in such a secretive way?" Old Tang cursed angrily, and very realistically did not ask any more questions.

Since the client has said so, we can only look at it when the time comes...

With this in mind, Old Tang was not in a hurry. The task execution time required in the task email was tomorrow, and the hospital was less than twenty minutes' walk from his home.

The equipment for the mission is under his bed. When the time comes, you can pick some and go directly. When the time comes, pretend to be a patient and go explore the spot...

Thinking about this, Old Tang quickly and subconsciously switched back to the interstellar, preparing to play another game. He had no idea that he had become a millionaire worth ten million US dollars, and that if the task was completed, his net worth would double.

However, the sudden sound of QQ prompt interrupted him.

Old Tang clicked on the jumping icon in the lower right corner. It was a message from Lu Mingfei: [Hey Old Tang! I just came out of the airport after arriving in the United States. I remember you said you lived in Brooklyn, New York? 】

【Uh-huh. 】

Old Tang was just subconsciously typing to prepare for a warm invitation, but he quickly remembered that the 20 million US dollar task he had just accepted was also here.

[But I’m afraid I can’t take you for a stroll here as I promised before. Brooklyn is not peaceful recently, so remember not to come here! 】

Lu Mingfei on the other side felt a move in his heart when he saw the news. Was he not at peace? That's right, how can a place with mixed races be peaceful?
What's more, this time it involves the execution of a task by a violent organization like the Kassel College Executive Department. It's definitely not easy for them to take action!
"Oh... what exactly is wrong?" Lu Mingfei asked, pretending to be a "curious baby who has never seen the world."

"It's just those gang members and various things. The Crips and Blood Gang have been very active recently. With constant friction, it seems that they are preparing to grab territory again. Maybe a gun battle may break out!"

Old Tang chose to deliberately make the matter serious.

"It will definitely be very dangerous then. Anyway, remember not to come here yet. If you do, you may not be able to go back. This place is no different than at home. A bullet may kill you!"

"Oh..." Lu Mingfei replied calmly.

I will definitely go there when the time comes. Apart from anything else, as Senior Brother Chu is performing a mission, it is impossible for Lu Mingfei not to get involved.

"When the limelight is over, I will invite you to travel around the United States by Greyhound. No, a private jet!" Old Tang felt relieved a little.

"'The limelight is over'... Why do you seem to be involved in these things?" Lu Mingfei was shocked, "Are you really a gang boss?"

"Well, in some cases it's almost the same...but I've always been of good quality and don't do illegal things like murder and arson!" Old Tang replied.

"Stop it, man."

This time it was Lu Mingfei's turn to persuade Old Tang.

"Since Brooklyn is so dangerous, it's better to move out as soon as possible. Life is more important than money!"

PS: Today’s rational discussion post – if the price is clearly stated, what price would you set?
